Our baby, Sarah, is now 13 months old and has just learned a new skill. Not only can she say some words: “mama, up, down, hi” but, after months of practicing, she can finally take independent steps. In fact, she can walk clear across the room.
She has things to say and places to go. She’s getting faster and faster, ’cause all she wants to do now, is walk.
Watching a baby learn to walk never gets old. Rich and I delight in her. We all do.
These two videos were taken out on the porch on July 4th. The birds are singing…….it’s that time of night when they seem a little louder, as they get ready to settle down for the night.
Her tiny little legs get me. Babies sure grow up and change so very quickly. I’m so thankful for this sweet girl.
Her dirty feet hurt me. She’s W A L K I N G!
Good to be Home 
No longer a baby — she’s grown to toddler stage !

She is so sweet and pretty. I loved hearing the giggles and seeing the big happy smile. I watched the first two twice…they are just so fun. The sweet yellow dress…oh my!

Oh how exciting!!! I loved the video’s–smiled the whole time and I love the Kathryn Scott song playing “I belong” it brought tears to my eyes. Love you, Lish
And she is so happy to be walking! (P.S. I enjoyed the song Never Grow Up)
hi shanda…….sarah is so cute with her giggling! i’m sure it’s a bit bittersweet for you, though, watching your “baby” walk. they change so quickly in those early years. and BTW…..i looked up the blue dress on page 56 in the magazine- super cute! rich picked that out all on his own? so thoughtful. he’s definitely a keeper. but you already know that!!
